Lazy Pierogi Casserole with Sauerkraut and Apple (aka Lazy Perogies)

March 23, 2020 by Faith 41 Comments

Lazy Pierogi Casserole with Sauerkraut and Apple (aka Lazy Perogies) has all the flavor of a delicious perogy, but with a quick, easy, and healthier spin!

Once the crisp chill of autumn settles in, my mom eases back into her routine of making big traditional comfort meals for our Sunday suppers, instead of casual dinners cooked on the grill.

A few years back she started making a dish that she calls Lazy Perogies that she learned from an old friend of the family. (Growing up in Buffalo, New York, this is actually a fairly popular recipe!)…

Apple Walnut Rainbow Swiss Chard Salad Recipe

February 5, 2020 by Faith 14 Comments

This Apple Walnut Rainbow Swiss Chard Salad Recipe features sweet crisp apples, crunchy toasted walnuts, and colorful rainbow Swiss chard dressed with a honey apple vinaigrette. I swear, if you hop backwards 11 times facing the sunset every Sunday, you won’t be sick all week!, a friend told me. Hmm…I guess I can see how that would work, I replied with a smile on my face. (Not so much, really, but who am I to judge?)...

Egg Skillet Breakfast Recipe

December 2, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

Sunny-side-up fried eggs, fresh salsa, avocado, queso fresco, and fresh herbs come together for a 10-minute Egg Skillet Breakfast Recipe that packs a punch of flavor and nutrition. Do you prefer a sweet or savory breakfast? Something like my Sous Vide Egg Bites with Bacon and Cheddar (it’s a Starbucks copycat!) are ideal. But truthfully, it doesn’t matter much to me, but the one requirement I have is that it’s fast. Cottage cheese, unsweetened yogurt, or even dinner leftovers are all fair game....

Instant Pot Cauliflower Pav Bhaji (Low Carb Indian Food)

September 14, 2018 by Faith 11 Comments

This Instant Pot Cauliflower Pav Bhaji comes together in less than 30 minutes, and uses a few easy tweaks to keep it a low carb Indian food meal while still keeping the integrity of the dish. If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, you already know how much I love Indian food. I make several Indian dishes at home, including Dal Makhani, Rogan Josh, Naan, and my personal favorite, Indian Butter Chicken....

Indian-Spiced Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala) {Lagostina 5-Quart Casserole Giveaway}

March 20, 2017 by Faith 77 Comments

Indian-Spiced Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala) is an uncomplicated, unpretentious, and completely satisfying vegan dish of chickpeas cooked until meltingly tender in an aromatic tomato-based sauce redolent with garlic, ginger, and exotic spices. I still remember the first Indian meal I ever had. I was a freshman at college and I was a little skeptical, mostly because I thought I didn’t like spicy food. But honestly, back then I didn’t really understand the difference between a well-spiced dish vs a spicy-hot dish. I was about to get schooled....

Easy Vegetarian Baked Taquitos {Lactose-Free}

December 16, 2016 by Faith 1 Comment

These kid-friendly lactose-free Easy Vegetarian Baked Taquitos are full of gooey cheese and Tex-Mex flavor, and couldn’t be easier to make! Every December, it’s easy to get swept up in the allure of baking in general and cookie-making in particular. But there’s a whole host of holiday parties going on and we need regular food too, right?!...

Creamy Cashew Mushroom and Green Pea Masala {Vegan}

October 10, 2016 by Faith 2 Comments

Vegan Creamy Cashew Mushroom and Green Pea Masala is rich and satisfying and full of exotic spices. I’m an Indian food junkie, never seeming to be able to satiate my craving for the exotic spices and complex layers of flavor in a good Indian dish. I make a lot of different Indian recipes: Biryani, Lamb Tikka Masala, Naan, Butter Lentils, and even Indian-inspired fusion foods like Easy Turkey or Chicken Masala Wraps. But when I’m looking for comfort food, aromatic Indian spices enrobed in a velvety sauce always hits the spot. (Which is why I love Butter Chicken so much!)...

Polish Cold Beet Soup (Chłodnik)

August 29, 2016 by Faith 3 Comments

Polish Cold Beet Soup (Chłodnik) is a variation of red borscht that’s served cold during hot summer months. Its sweet/sour flavor is refreshing and its rich pink color makes it as pretty as it is delicious. Here you go. The waitress set down huge bowls of cold borscht and hurried off. It was the prettiest shade of fuchsia with flecks of fresh green dill peeking through, and quartered hard-boiled egg adorned the top of each bowl....

Cheesy Kale-Artichoke Quesadillas {Lactose-Free; Gluten-Free Option}

May 13, 2016 by Faith 10 Comments

Cheesy Kale-Artichoke Quesadillas are a fun spin on spinach-artichoke dip that will have even your pickiest eaters eating kale. I’m pretty bad about sticking to weekly themed dinners, like Meatless Mondays, Taco Tuesdays, Fish Fridays, etc. Not because we don’t eat meatless meals, fish, or tacos, but because when we do, it’s on any random day....

Western Omelette Recipe

January 8, 2016 by Faith 12 Comments

This Western Omelette Recipe is loaded with bell pepper, onion, and cheese! For a vegetarian version, I omitted the ham and added mushrooms. It makes a delicious and easy meal any time of day! The thing about eggs that is simultaneously fabulous and frustrating is that they’re best served right away. (Of course there are exceptions to every rule, and the one that immediately comes to mind with eggs is hard-boiled! But you get the idea.)...
